Research methods for the development of methodological competence of future physics teachers

Abstract

The professional competence of teachers reflects their readiness to carry out pedagogical activity, as well as its professional characteristics. Therefore, at present, teachers face great demands for the development of professional competencies. The problem of professional competence is actively studied in the works of many domestic and foreign scientists, the authors have devoted their research work to the development of methodological competencies, which are an important component of professional competence. In this regard, the article considers the issue of the development of methodological competence of future physics teachers,which is the main component of professional competence in the process of professional training. Before considering the research methods, the authors set a goal to identify the components and indicators of methodological competence, first of all, they gave their definition of the methodological competence of a physics teacher. After a clear definition of each component, classes using interactive teaching methods were conducted for their development and their advantages were demonstrated. Special questionnaires, educational and methodological tasks were prepared for the research work and a quantitative, qualitative analysis of the research results were presented. Based on the presented results, the authors concluded that the use of the developed system for the development of methodological competencies in the process of teaching physics had a significant positive impact on the level of professional training of students.
